What's looking good in June 2009

Thanks C, I still have 5 more to come out, 3 red, 1 white and 1 salmon orange.

 

Just catching up here ... lovely photos and beautiful colours everyone.

I'd have that in a moment, strongy ... .absolutely stunning!

Cumberland ... did you mean Mimulus (the Monkey Flower) as opposed to Mimosa? .... could it be that Claire?

 

It very much could be. I got a load of seeds off a neighbour of mine, just sowed them direct as I didn't have much hope for them ( or the room). They are quite a lovely surprise-not quite a match for the orange of the californian poppies but close.

 

Finally, got a gathering of pictures. So much rain and gray skies hard to photograph anything decent.
But here is what is blooming so far.

 

Love that pretty pink shrub above. but again, not hardy enough for my space.

 

Red, love the garden, the hostas are fantastic. :gnthb:
The pink Bottlebrush can take -7/8c without any serious damage.

 

Thank you Strongylodon. I plan to photo more on the next go around, have lots of them.
I risk zone 6 as my top zone depending on the plant and placement of it.--thanks.

 

AFTER THE RAIN..




OPEN WIDE






AND TWO OF MY CLEMATIS IN FLOWER...

 

Love that third picture.

 

Ydd you should have given a 'wear sunglasses' warning before the Clematis pics.:gnthb::D

 

Thanks Redstar, been using Macro mode on the camera..

 

Oh Missed you there Strongy, They are bright arent they, A rare pic with some sunshine in it..

 

These pictures are just beautiful every one. :gnthb:

Redstar the video was lovely, it was like visiting a garden walk.

Keep the pics coming everyone

 

Redstar, did I see your Begonia Evansii Grandis growing next to the Hostas, I presume it survives the winter ok. Mine are coming up everywhere.

 

A couple of pics of my first blooms of the newly planted Dahlia. This one is the cream one, although I also have red and pink waiting to bloom


1st one with flash ......





2nd one without flash ......




Photos taken this morning of the same bud facing the fence, hence the dark background. Was pleased how they came out as literaly just popped out took a couple of snaps and came back in (was in my dressing gown :hehe
